NANDIPADA The Nandipada ('foot of Nandi') is an ancient Indian symbol, also called a taurine symbol, representing a bull's hoof or the mark left by the foot of a bull in the ground. The nandipada and the zebu bull are generally associated with Nandi, Shiva 's humped bull in Hinduism. The Nandipada symbol also happens to be similar to the Brahmi letter 'ma'. The Nandipada symbol saw later evolution, especially with branches becoming more decorated. It is sometimes associated or confused with the Buddhist Triratna symbol.

NANDI The name Nandi, which means 'happiness', designates the sacred bull belonging to Shiva, the Hindu god of creative power. In traditional Indian sculpture Shiva is often shown mounted on or leaning against the animal. As a symbol of Shiva, the Nandi represents power, virility, joy, and delight, as well as a controlled potential for destructiveness.

Vahanas symbolise or complement the energy or character of their deity. The white colour of the bull symbolizes purity and justice. Nandi images are found in abundance at Shiva temples.

PALLAVA DYNASTY PALLAVA DYNASTY The Pallava Dynasty existed from 275 CE to 897 CE, ruling a significant portion of the Deccan, also known as Thondaimandalam. The dynasty rose to prominence after the downfall of the Satavahana dynasty, with whom they had formerly served as feudatories. The Pallavas became a major South Indian power during the reign of Mahendravarman I (600–630 CE) and Narasimhavarman I (630–668 CE) and dominated the southern Telugu Region and the northern parts of the Tamil region for about 600 years, until the end of the 9th century. All through their reign, they remained in constant conflict with both the Chalukyas of Badami in the north and the Tamil kingdoms of Chola and Pandyas in the south. The Pallavas were finally defeated by the Chola ruler Aditya I in the ninth century CE. The Pallavas are noted for their patronage of Hindu temple architecture, the finest example being the Shore Temple, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Mamallapuram. Kancheepuram served as the c
